Arp Solina String Ensemble - demo


YouTube via hamsterdunce aka Dave of umop.

Update via DVDBorn in the comments:
"Correction: The Solina doesn't have 16 voices as is said in the video. It has full polyphony. It uses a divide down circuit to give each key it's own voice. It's the same technology that was used in organs and the Korg PS-series."

  2. Oh man, cool stuff! You even got the Mr. Crowley intro in there! Now all you need is a MiniMoog and an incoherent Englishman and you're set :)

  3. Beautiful sounding synth, I'm happy to discover what instrument was responsible for that particular 70's string sound. Oh and btw Dave that Logan's Run quip damn near made me poop myself!

    Lookin' forward to more synth demos from you!

  7. Cool, thanks everyone. Once again, not my synth, but this time around I actually took the time to familiarize myself with the unit before breaking out the video camera.

    I've got to get me one of these things. It's an incredible-sounding string. They got it right pretty early in the game, too. Seems like we've been playing catch-up ever since. Like the damn moon landing or something.
